Do a paint-by-number.

For people who love to sit down with paint and a brush but aren’t particularly artistic, paint-by-numbers are a fun alternative to blank canvases. They come with all the paints you’ll need, brushes and a ready-made picture with numbers to correspond with the paints. Even if you’re a little tipsy, these are super fun and can be challenging if you pick the right one. Invite a few friends over to paint or do other projects with you. You’ll create a beautiful piece of art for your home and have fun doing it.

Organize your closet.

We could all use this time to bring some organization into our homes. Pour yourself a glass of vino and start with the closet. Pour another and find all the lids for your storage containers. Invite your friends and family to pick through your closet for items they want and maybe return the favor. By the end, you’ll have a more organized house and a nice buzz.

Plant something.

You don’t need much. A little potting soil, some seeds and sunny spot. A little time in the sunshine digging in the soil does the mind and body good. Research what kinds of flowers or herbs grow best in your climate and how often to feed and water them. Then sit back with a cold wine spritzer (or Budlight Seltzer) and watch them sprout and grow!

Flowers are therapeutic to grow and make your home look and smell fresh.

Start a blog or journal.

Not every one likes the thought of sitting down and writing out their thoughts. But it can be a very therapeutic process, especially when you’re anxious or have a lot on your mind. Drink a glass of wine before you sit down to write to relax you and get the juices flowing. Then just start writing. Even if it’s not Stephen King grade, you might find out a little about yourself and release some stress in the process.

Take a bath.

Nothing quite beats a glass of deep red wine and a warm bath. Dump in that anti-bacterial hand soap to make yourself feel better and sip something while you soak your worries away. Throw in some epsom salts to soothe any sore muscles and remove toxins. Pour your partner a glass too and relax in the tub together.

Enjoy the down time in your home with the ones you love- and a little bit of wine.

Luckily these days companies like Truly and even Budweiser have taken into account the vast majority of people who work hard on their bodies and also want to occasionally go hard in the paint. 

Hard seltzer is the newest addition to the alcohol scene. We’ve all been drinking seltzer anyway- that guilt-free carbonated greatness- and now we can sip it with alcohol at the end of a long day without worrying about gaining a few pounds of bloat in the process.

Lots of companies have jumped on the hard seltzer bandwagon and all boast pretty much the same stats: 100 calories per can, lots of carbonated flavors and a minimal amount of carbs and sugar. Budweiser has created their own line of Budlight Seltzers in a variety of fun flavors that taste great and won’t kill your calories for the day. They’re made with fermented fruit alcohol which is cleaner than even the most common low-cal cocktails.

For a while, you could only buy hard seltzers in the grocery store or gas station, but now thankfully bars and clubs have stocked up and you can order a Truly or Budlight seltzer almost anywhere. A whole new culture has begun in the wake of these light beverages and quite ingeniously pulled gym rats from their eight o’clock bedtimes and back into the fun.

What a time to live in. No more summer pool parties worrying about alcohol bloat. No more skipping dinner for those whiskey calories. Hard seltzer goes hard for your body and tastes delicious too. 

So go hard.

1.THE BEER BONG

A staple for every fraternity house, the beer bong is just a funnel with a tube to better facilitate your drinking. Because of the tube, the beer is forced down your throat by gravity, making it easier to chug. It is also up to the person pouring how much or how little you’re getting, so make sure you trust the person on the other end.

2. HIDDEN FLASKS

Perfect for drinking on the beach or at that family reunion you didn’t want to go to, there’s a type of flask for every occasion. There are flipflop flasks, hallowed out book flasks, tampon flasks and the good old fashioned ones you can put in your pocket. They make for less waste (just fill it from the bottle instead of using plastic cups) and a more discreet way to sip your drink uninterrupted.

3. SHOWER WINE HOLDER

We all know the story- you’re drinking a glass of wine and want to take a shower. So, you set your glass down on the side of the tub but it gets slick with water and spills all over the bathmat. Now you’re naked and cleaning up wine. Not relaxing. Thankfully now we have shower wine holders. They suction to your shower wall and hold most sizes of wine glasses. Put them up high for showers and down low for baths. Your drink stays where you put it and is easy-to-reach.

4. THE BEER HELMET

A true testament to the American spirit, beer helmets were created so you could drink two beers while watching sporting events, leaving your hands free for wings and chips. The helmet sits on your head, complete with a straw that moves the liquid straight to your mouth with ease. No more sauce prints on your beer bottles!

5. TWIST-OFF TOPS

This is one we sometimes take for granted. Back in the day, you needed a bottle opener for every beer you drank. Unless you were great at popping of bottle caps on your tooth or with a lighter, there was no getting around it. The twist-off cap was invented in the 1960s and changed the way we opened bottles forever. Budweiser even makes a screw-on cap that you can seal between sips to eliminate spillage and keep your beer fresh!

1. Shandyland

A twist on our favorite candy-themed boardgame, set the game up as normal but every time you pick a colored-square card, follow the following drinking rules:

BLUE CARD- guys drink
PURPLE CARD- girls drink
ORANGE CARD- player who picked the card drinks
YELLOW CARD- player who picked the card picks someone to drink
DOUBLE CARD- player who picked the card drinks and picks one other player to drink as well
PEOPLE CARDS- player must choose a random person/celebrity and other players must ask YES or NO questions until they guess the person. Whoever wins this challenge gets to choose who drinks.
PLACES CARDS- player must choose TRUTH or DARE and the person to the left can ask a question or dare them to do something. The player may opt out by downing the rest of their drink.

Play this game with a delightful shandy recipe using your favorite beer!

2. Battle Shots

You don’t need the game or pieces for this one, but you will need a few other items:
-12 shot glasses (size doesn’t matter)
-a divider of some sort for the middle of the table (you can even stack some books- just make sure the other team can’t see where your battleshots are)
-a marker
-light colored table cloth you can write on

Use a ruler or book to create a battle ship board on the table cloth. Label the x-axis with letters and the y-axis with numbers, place your shots and start calling out coordinates. If you have a shot on B5 and the other team guesses “B5″, you must sink your battleshot- into your mouth. Keep the shots at 1 ounce for maximum play time.

3. Twisted-er

The game of Twister is already hard enough when you’re sober. Make the rule if you fall you drink, and its hilariously impossible. Use food coloring in shots of light colored liquor to make it even more interesting. If you miss a red dot, drink a red shot.

4. Pictionary

This game gets more and more fun as it goes along. Have everyone write phrases on separate index cards. 20 phrases per person is good. It makes it fun to put inappropriate stuff on the cards, but obviously, know your audience. Phrases could be things like “Does a bear scat in the woods?” or “She’s not the brightest crayon in the box.” Divide into teams and start picking cards to draw for the other team to guess. Set a timer for 1 minute and if they haven’t guessed the phrase, they drink and your team gets a point. Whoever has the most points wins!

Aries people are natural-born leaders, fearless and energetic, they constantly have to keep themselves busy.

2 oz whiskey
1/2 oz vermouth

Sometimes Geminis can have trouble communicating love to their partners- which is where this little truth serum cocktail comes in:

LA PALOMA
2 oz tequila
1/2 oz lime juice
pinch of salt
splash of grapefruit soda

CANCER

Cancers like to stay home- like a crab in its shell. They feel everything very deeply and can easily become upset if their world is not exactly the way they like.

HAPPY APPLE
1 oz vodka
2 oz sour apple liqueur
1 oz apple juice

LEO

Leos are the most creative and ambitious of the zodiac signs. They thrive to be the center of attention and often fall into the traps of social media- wanting to be the most attractive, most successful, most fun. Leos should try this cocktail to bring a little self-introspection into their lives and consider what’s really important:

THE THINKING CAP
2 oz bourbon

Virgos love to stay practical and rational, even when things are falling apart. They are delicate and warm on the inside, though they may seem cold to others because of their rational demeanor. This cocktail will help even the most conservative Virgo open up and show the emotions they have inside:

3 oz tequila blanco
1/2 tbsp. creme de cassis
1/2 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. lime juice

LIBRA

Libras are kind and warm with an innate ability to enjoy the little things. It is hard to rile up a Libra, as they are great at being diplomatic and hate conflict. They’d rather side with you and keep the piece than be right. To hone this peacekeeping skill, Libras should try this cocktail:

FRENCH CONNECTION
2 oz cognac
2 oz amaretto

SCORPIO

Scorpios are the volcanoes of the zodiac. While their personalities are huge and mostly wonderful, they can also be quite volatile and erupt at any moment over the smallest inconvenience. Scorpios are known for having keen intuition but can often veer towards jealousy if they’re not careful. To focus more on what they bring to the table, Scorpios can sip on this introspective cocktail:

JEAN HARLOW
2 oz light rum
2 oz sweet vermouth

Here’s a mixed drink for Capricorn people who want to get a little more accomplished today:

BLACK RUSSIAN
2 oz vodka

Aquarians have high expectations of people. They have strong, dominant personalities and constantly seek alone time while they sift through their own thoughts. They are the “forgive but not forget” sign and once you wrong an Aquarius, you’ll always have a bit of the cold shoulder from them. This cocktail is good to sip alone for Aquariuses trying to be a bit more tolerant:

WHITE WINE SPRITZER
3 oz chilled white wine
1 oz club soda
garnish with an orange peel

PISCES

Pisces people are gentle, nurturing and emotionally sensitive to the needs of others. They like to meander through life with a smile and try to avoid conflict if they can. Because of their “just keep swimming” mindset, they sometimes expect problems to work themselves out than actively try and solve them. This is a drink perfect for Pisces people trying to get their act together:

DARK AND STORMY
2 oz dark rum
1 oz tequila
splash of ginger beer
2 oz freshly brewed espresso

I introduce to you the Donald Trump Orange Monkey, a variation of the Monkey Gland served in a small glass to make your hands look big. It is intoxicating enough to make everyone around you believe you’re making sense but will leave you full of regret in the morning. And the Hillary Clinton Americana, an updated version of the classic Americano that is still full of patriotism but now inclusive of women. It’s strong, bitter, gets the job done and served in a short glass.

How to make the Donald Trump Orange Monkey

Ingredients:

1 3/4  oz Gin

1/4 oz Absinthe

Orange juice

Splash of Grenadine

Orange slice for garnish

Instructions:

Combine the Gin, Absinthe, Orange Juice and Grenadine in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled sour glass (short champagne flute) and add the orange slice as garnish.

Don’t share with anyone, if they get close to your drink build a wall of pillows around you and call security.

How to make the Hillary Clinton Americana

Ingredients:

1 oz Campari

1 oz Vermouth

Sprite

Instructions:

Fill a short cocktail glass with ice. Shake the equal parts Campari and Vermouth together in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain and pour over ice, add Sprite to fill the glass.

Next, ensure everyone has the perfect drink of their choice, don’t be afraid to micromanage, and be sure to stop anyone who is drinking more than their fair share. When finished make sure to break the glass!

Now sit back and enjoy the next few months as the election starts to really heat up. You’ll be all set for any debate viewing parties with these cocktails.

Step 1: Chill the bottle

The bottle needs to be cooler than you would normally keep a sparkling wine. You can submerge it in a lot of ice, but I usually just stick it in the freezer for half an hour or so. It should be long enough to be very cold but not frozen.

Step 2: Find a good spot

The entire top of the bottle is about to shoot off so make sure you are not performing this directly facing anyone. It will come off with some force so be careful of anything fragile – you’ll lose a lot of the effect if you saber the bottle and break an expensive piece of artwork. Outdoor space is perfect as it will give the cork space to fly, but don’t do it out of a high window or the people below could get a nasty surprise.

Step 3: Gather a crowd

What’s the point of sabering if you don’t have a good crowd to wow?

Step 4: Pick a good saber (or knife)

The key here is to find something you can control well, it does not need to be heavy. You’re not cutting or hacking at the bottle, some people can do it with a small hit from the end of a wine glass. I recommend starting with chef’s knife.

Step 5: Remove the foil and wire from the top

Take all the foil off the top of the bottle and remove the wire basket so your saber and the cork are unimpeded.

Step 6: Find the larger seam of the bottle

Run your fingers around the bottle and you’ll feel a horizontal seam on either side of the bottle. Feel for the thicker of the two seams and place that facing up.

Step 7: Hold the bottle at a 20 degree angle

The key to this is in the angle of the bottle and your saber. If you have it at the correct angle you won’t need much pressure at all to achieve the perfect beheading.

Step 6: Behead the bottle

This is the final step, slide your saber of choice parallel to the bottle along the seam, up the neck and in a smooth motion tap the collar (the top ridge). Follow through with the saber in one gesture. Be sure not to try to cut the top off the bottle. If you chip the glass at all your angle is wrong and you are using too much force. Back off, adjust your angle and try again more softly.

ENJOY!

 Follow these instructions and (after a few practice runs) you’ll be sabering at every occasion.

1. Pace yourself. The clubs are all unique and spectacular; you’re going to want to remember them all. So, do not drink a whole bottle of champagne in the party limo on the way to the first club.

2. Dance! But not on a pole or on the stage. Leave it to the professionals; this is not an amateur sport. They get paid the big bucks for a reason.

3. Take pictures. There are great light shows, beautiful architecture, people dressed up or on stilts in these clubs. The pictures might be dark but add a few filters and you’ll have a great reminder of your night out.

4. Turn off your phone. Don’t text your ex, or that new Tinder guy. Stop now. It’s not worth it! Just turn your phone off at the beginning of the night so you won’t be tempted. Or, better yet, ask one of your friends to change the names/numbers of your temptations in your phone so you won’t be able to text them.

5. Never leave your friends. The age old rule that should always be followed, and vet the people your friends are taking home. Introduce the new love of your life/night to your friends and meet the people they want to take home too. You’ll mitigate the effects of beer goggles so you all feel happier about it in the morning.

6. Make sure you know how to get home. Take a business card from the hotel you’re staying in, or have the map     saved on your phone. It’s much easier to give this to a taxi or uber driver than trying to remember an address at the end of the night.

Follow these simple rules and you are sure to have the best night out in Hollywood, that you can actually tell people about.
